The Bravia 5 has plenty going for it, with excellent, refined backlight control. But it can't beat the TCL on bang-for-buck performance
Pros

- Vibrant but still natural and nuanced colour
- Great value for money
Cons
- Backlight clouding when viewed from an angle
- Occasional colour slips
- Some rivals offer more gaming features
